The Court’s decision in our case is about more than an individual position or agency – it’s about ensuring the president cannot sidestep Congress to seize more control.

i cant stress enough that the 4th amendment factually doesnt exist any more, be careful out there
Police have access to massive surveillance networks that track the public whether they are suspects or not. That means probably for every 1 officer caught using the system to harass or spy on people they have feuds with, ex's, activists, journalists, there are probably 100 more we don't know about.
